Hello, this is Moshe Ratson. In this short video will talk about Anger.
Anger is a basic human emotion that is experienced by all people.
It protects us from pain It makes us work toward fulfilling our needs
, and It prevents us from sinking into despair
Normally anger is triggered by hurt and fear. Anger is usually experienced as an unpleasant
feeling that takes place when we think we have been
injured, mistreated or when we are faced with obstacles
that keep us from attaining our needs or expectations. Fundamentally, anger is a signal to you that
something in your environment is not going well.
As such, anger captures your attention and motivates you to take action to correct the
situation or move toward fulfilling your needs. Repeated anger can be costly, both physically
and emotionally. Out of control anger pushes away friends,
co-workers and family members. As chronic anger makes people rigid and highly
defensive, it is likely to have a negative effect on
your health, it is likely to damage your relationships
with others, and it is probably limit your experiences
in life and your ability to achieve happiness. These are only few out of many reasons why
learning to properly manage your anger is a good idea.
It is important to understand that anger in itself is not a problem, but the way it is
expressed can be problematic and even dangerous. Anger management or the ability to constructively
process emotions is key to our well being. Learning how to manage emotions, specifically
anger, improving our skills to resolve anger and
conflict, would enable us to develop more healthy and
happy relationships.
If you find yourself feeling tense and frustrated with yourself and others,
if you find yourself unable to enjoy people and life,
if you frequently raise your voice or argue with others,
if people seems afraid to speak their minds to you, or afraid to disappoint you,
if you have expectations that others or you yourself are unable to meet,
it is possible you have an anger issue. Psychotherapy is a valuable tool for people
who needs help controlling their anger as well as other difficult emotions.
With the right help, a person who struggles with anger can learn the skills to overcome
anger and transform it into positive energy. With commitment and openness, you will no
longer be restricted to reacting from the past, but rather be able to act and create
constructive responds that leads to powerful future.
